Gracelyn's POVHere I am again sitting on the plane but this time I am flying back home and no nuisance like Riley. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep. I feel so tired from yesterday's schedule. I am already a regular nurse in the hospital and I rented an apartment for myself. Now I am flying back home for a seminar. The hospital decided to send me as a representative. They say that it is my hometown and I know the places. For me, it is an opportunity to have a vacation so I grabbed it eventhough I feel drained.Two hours more to go before the plane lands. I closed my eyes and tried to take a nap. I needed energy for the seminar. After I stepped down from the plane, I immediately went to the seminar's venue. It's already eight in the morning here and seminar will start at nine. All this rushing wake my blood. I immediately went to the information table to fill all necessary documents."Gracelyn?".I heard a familiar voice. I turn around and saw Greg. He looks.... different. A good d
Gracelyns POv"I am sorry for proposing to you the childish way before. Now I am making things straight and doing it the right way. I already asked permission from your mom and dad". Greg sat across me."Wow. So my parents sold me out". I mumbled."Not exactly. Your mom gave me a long sermon and repeat it for how many times but to sum it up, she said that I should act like my age and I should always try my best not to hurt you. If I have to choose between two things that will hurt you, she said I should choose the thing that will hurt you less. As for your dad, he didn't agree at first. He is guilty of hurting you and Ange. He is afraid that someone like him would hurt you again but after ten nights of courting him, he said yes."" Why trouble yourself"."Because I love you and I am serious about it". LOVE is a positive word- a happy word but why does hearing it makes my heart aches so much. All the things i imagine being in love would be are the opposite of what I felt- of wha
Greg's POv I was so happy when the hospital chose me to be the nurse they will be sending in Australia to adopt and observe. That means I have a chance to be closer to Grace.

Riley's POVThere is something wrong with the new nurse. He keeps on staring at Gracelyn whenever he has a chance. In terms of his responsibility and ability as a nurse, I can say he is superb. It's just that I feel bothered by the way he looked at Gracelyn."Do you happen to have a crush on Gracelyn?" I asked him. We are taking our rounds."Is it too obvious?" He whispered.I slapped my forehead in my mind. I am right. "You can't have a crush in her. She is mine". I glared at him and walked passed him .I leave him their with his jaw hanging and eyes wide open. How dare him. He is just a newbie and now he is trying to woo Gracelyn?I heard him shouting at me to wait for him after a minute but I ignore him and went to our office. "I can't be partner with that newbie. Let's exchange partner". I asked Resty."Why is that?" He raised his eyebrow at me."He is so arrogant"."Really? He is kind and good looking. He never even complained." Agnes butt in."Maybe, it's because he has a crus
Greg's POVA month has passed since the team building and seeing Gracelyn after what happened between us makes my heart aches everytime. So this maybe how she felt when I betrayed her and made a fool out of her. I want everything in my power to bring her back to my side but I don't want to force her. I want her to love me again like before- in her own accord. Her loving me without any reason, she just love me and I loved her without planning and realizing it. It just happened like magic. That's the love that I want but I think it is already impossible to achieve.She has been with Riley most of the time. I saw Riley running after Grace after we talked. I don't know if Riley heard our conversation that day but they've gotten closer since then. They look happy whenever they are together. So happy that I want to just leave Gracelyn alone with him. Here I am again ,crying in front of mom. Showing her my desperation. Showing her how vulnerable I am without Gracelyn."Mom, I am so confuse
Greg's POVFour years later after returning back home I am already a doctor graduate. I decided to be a doctor to help more people and cure their illnesses. My parents gave me their full support and assist me emotionally and financially. It is not an easy road but I made it and here I am today giving lecture in which I didn't expect Gracelyn to be one of my audience. I didn't know why she attended this seminar because I didn't had the free time to talk to her. After leaving her to be with Riley in Australia, I didn't know what happened between them because I didn't have the time to chat with our co-workers there. I busied myself because that's the only way I know to keep myself sane.The following day after the seminar, it's Roger's wedding day with Izzy."You are already beyond the calendar bro. You should find a girl and get marry", Roger teased.Today is his wedding day. I am his best man of course."I am giving her the chance to find me bro." I joked."Don't be hard to get becaus
